Are you a wife that cares what your finance/ husband's friends think? Would you allow him to accept a friend request on your family facebook page from a high school friend that he slept with years ago because she is friends with your husbands friends and you dont want them thinking your trying to control your husband? What are your thoughts on this issue??[Poll]

    Everybody makes such a big deal over FB.

    Personally, I don't see why she is pursuing the subject at all. If she wants to keep in touch with him, let her join their HS or college FB page and see what he is up to there. 

     

  • I don't control my H's facebook. If he asked my opinion, and I was uncomfortable with the idea I would tell him the truth, but I don't make a habit of telling him what to do when it comes to things like facebook friends.

  • I really lack that jealousy streak.. If they were friends and she friended him whether they slept together or not I'm fine with it. If they started chatting everyday, then we would need to discuss it.

  • Facebook can be the root of all evil in a relationship.............

    We can not control our husbands....not if we would like to keep them :)   I think, If you are concerned about what he is doing and friends he is keeping on facebook, maybe there is a bigger issue that needs to be looked at. 

  • Being friends on FB is whatever to me. I am "friends" on FB with a couple of my exes, and so is my husband. I never actually talk to them though, and neither does he.
  • If you don't want people to think you are 'trying to control your husband'. simple: Don't try and control your husband, he has a right to be friends with whoever he wants really. its Facebook..not like hes going to visit her at 11:00pm every night at her house or something. Get over it.

    For the record my H's highschool 'first love', is not only his friend on FB but her and her husband and daughter were at our wedding. Being friends with an ex or someone they slept with isnt the end of the world...they chose you instead didn't they?

  • I didnt vote because I am not my husband's keeper. We do not need permission from each other to do things.  In fact, if we did, we wouldnt be married.

    "allowing" is something parents do with children.

    Agreed. My husband is my partner, and I trust him to make good decisions. I know Facebook can be dangerous, but the reality is that those kinds of "temptations" exist everywhere. You either trust your husband or you don't.
